Gwinnett County is the metro's volume engine. The I-85 corridor connects Norcross, Duluth, Suwanee, and Buford, with Lawrenceville at the center. The Mall of Georgia district pulls growth northeast, and Peachtree Corners adds an employment hub of its own. The range is the story here: everything from starter townhomes to lake-adjacent new construction.
